Imaging Software Glossary: Terms & Concepts: S
The imaging software glossary provides definitions for document and web imaging, in addition to terminology specific to Snowbound Software’s imaging technology.
| Scale | Scale adjusts how image intensities are scaled for display. |
| Scale To Color | Scale to color is used when displaying scaled-down color images. It prevents loss of visual data, creating a smoother rendering of th e image. It works best for color images with text, such as brochures, magazines, and newspaper flyers. |
| Scale To Gray | Scale to gray is used when displaying scaled-down (zoomed out) black and white images. It prevents loss of visual data, particularly for straight lines of text, creating a smoother rendering of the image. It converts the image to gray scale values. It converts the neighboring pixels to an 8-bit gray scale value. Scale to gray obtains the best results on text type documents. |
| Screen Coordinates | Screen coordinates are the coordinates of the graphics display controller. The origin is a lmost always at the upper left hand corner of the display and pixel rows are numbered downward. |
| SDK | A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of development tools that allows a developer to create applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar. SDKs also include sample code and supporting technical notes or other supporting documentation to help clarify points from the primary reference material. Snowbound's RasterMaster Imaging SDKs are available for a variety of platforms including Java, Windows, .NET, and UNIX. |
| Sepia | Sepia are reddish brown monochrome tints. When applied to a photo, they give the picture a warm, antique feeling. |
| Servlet | A servlet is an object that receives requests and generates a response based on the request. The API defines HTTP subclasses of the generic servlet requests and responses as well as an HTTP session object that tracks multiple requests and responses between the web server and a client. Servlets may be packaged as a Web application. Moreover, servlets can be generated automatically by Java Server Pages (JSP), or alternately by template engines such as WebMacro. Often servlets are used in conjunction with JSPs in a pattern called "Model 2", which is a flavor of the model-view-controller pattern. |
| Skewed Image | A skewed image is a crooked or warped image. |
